30 -In addition to these different formats, standard mappings and corresponding transformation tools have been developed for the creation of data [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]]-specific schemas from [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]] descriptions, to transform XML data instances from one XML [[data description>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data presentation - detailed description.WebHome]] format to another, and from these formats into the corresponding [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] messages. This level of free tools support will foster the early use of [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] and permit the data to be easily used across all processes, which is otherwise a difficult requirement to meet. Ultimately, it is the fact that all formats share a common information model that enables this approach to meet the wide set of [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] requirements.
